i missed halloween but we're squeaking in this post before thanksgiving. ay ay ay, i'm patting myself on the back. we found ourselves on our first annual pumpkin patch trip as a family of 3. i think we will find a 'new' patch next fall but this was just fine for the day with a 1 year old - officially, sweet memories made.
her favorite part was probably this. wandering through the pre-picked pumpkin field as soon as you enter the farm. she went around and touched each one and then tried to steal some mums.
it was a gorgeous day, but a surprisingly, blazing hot day. i was wearing a sweater and jeans and immediately wished i was in shorts and a tank as soon as we exited the car. that made me a little 'eh' ... oh and i forgot to wear deodorant. so it was an 'eh' and a 'ew' moment for me [and maybe for others too ... yikes]. although, it was worth enduring to see our little babe on a 'fall farm' for a day.
my little doll baby ran her little heart out. we didn't pay to do any of the extra things - she wouldn't really appreciate it and was just as content running in fields and touching grass, so that's what we did.
we had quality family time for a bit. i think in an effort to wrangle this wild one we gave her the best seat in the house...right on poppa's shoulders and then we wheeled her around in a pumpkin wagon, which she thoroughly enjoyed. she wanted back in as soon as we got her out. i bought what i thought was an 'emmie sized' pumpkin and at check out she found an even ittier one for herself...like so tiny. i loved that, it fit in her tiny hands perfectly.
it was a sweet day and i think little ems had a good time. i look forward to many years of patchin' in our future, hopefully we'll be more appropriately dressed, ahem, prepared & at a farm that is a little less 'commercialized'. hay rides should be free! i'm just saying.
we hope you're enjoying what's left of fall in your neck of the woods, i know in ky i'm clinging to what's left of the colorful leaves, days in the 50's & well, the month of november.
SO FUN! And this makes me smile because Cormac is also constantly picking mums and giving them to me. :)
